Track Distributions

For collision data the track reconstruction was performed using the CTF algorithm (see Sect. 2.2.4) and the tracking detectors had been aligned based on the same procedure as described in [5]. 

Tracks with a minimum transverse momentum of pj 0.3 GeV and a pseudorapidity of -2.5 r] 2.5 were selected and the quality cuts listed in Table4.4 were applied. The performance of the track reconstruction for the data is compared to the MC simulation. In Fig. 5.2 the distribution of the track multiplicity and the track transverse momentum, pseudorapidity and azimuthal angle are shown. While the shape of the transverse momentum spectrum in data is well described by MC, the disagreement between data and simulation in track multiplicity and track pseudorapidity is due to an imperfect D6T tuning as discussed in [6]. The asymmetry in the

In addition to NAA, neutrons are widely used in prompt radiation analysis for the determination of concentration and spatial distribution of elements in different matrices. For example, a track-etched detector (LR-115, Makrofol KG, CR 39, mica) placed on the polished surface of a sample is irradiated with fast or thermal neutrons then etched with a suitable chemical to deduce the concentration profiles from the track distributions. This method can also be used for the detection of suspended and dissolved U, Th, and Pu in water by (n,f) reactions N in polymers by the N(n,p) C reaction B and Li in semiconductors or glasses by the B(n,a) Li and Li(n,ot) H reactions, respectively. For the detection of fission fragments the use of mica is recommended. 

As a rule, medicines used in bigger amounts in hospitals are commercially supplied by industry, smaller amounts and ad hoc orders by wholesalers, see Chap. 36. Some tasks delegated to the hospital pharmacist may be fulfilled by centralised services for allied partners due to economic or effectiveness reasons. The frame for this duty has to be flexible enough to attain a fast track distribution within the institution and thus a fast dispensing of medicines to the patient. Thus, not only drug supply, but also the medication process and consequently the prevention of medications errors, which are multidisciplinary processes within patient care, are to be considered as integral parts of the mandate [4]. 

T abular. A typical distributioa as measured by modem iastmmeatatioa can iaclude size information on tens of thousands and even millions of iadividual particles. These data can be Hsted ia a computer and then sorted iato a series of successive size iatervals, keeping track of the measured quantity, such as number, surface area, or mass, within each group. For narrow size distributions it may be sufficient to group the data ia linear iatervals, such as 0—1, 1—2, 2—3 p.m, etc, and then Hst the iatervals as a perceat value of the whole. 

Tertiay Current Distribution. The current distribution is again impacted when the overpotential influence is that of concentration. As the limiting current density takes effect, this impact occurs. The result is that the higher current density is distorted toward the entrance of the cell. Because of the nonuniform electrolyte resistance, secondary and tertiary current distribution are further compHcated when there is gas evolution along the cell track. Examples of iavestigations ia this area are available (50—52). 

Particle tracking can often be very helpful. Sometimes the particle distribution is directly asked for in other cases, it is an attractive way of illustrating the effectiveness of the ventilation system.

As the result of a mix-up at a distribution center, two tank track drivers received each other s papers. One of the trucks carried a load of sodium chlorite solution, and the other carried epichlorohydrin. The chlorite truck went to the customer who was expecting epichlorohydrin and was off-loaded into a tank that already contained some epichlorohydrin. The result was an explosion and a serious fire fumes and smoke led to the closure of the bridges over the Severn Estuary. UK [12, 13]. 

As treated in other chapters of this book, air masses often transport acidic pollutants thousands of kilometres from their original source prior to deposition. Because air mass and storm movements tend to follow regular patterns, there is a strong linkage between the sources of pollutants and the areas that receive the acidic deposition. In eastern North America, the air mass movements and storm tracks are, on the average, from southwest towards the northeast. This serves to carry the emitted pollutants from the industrial "heartland over the more rural and comparatively pristine area of the northeast United States and southeastern Qmada (14). The spatial distribution of sulphate deposition over the eastern United States and Canada in 1980 is shown in Figure 4 (17).
